I agree. The viewers never see the wonder that is Michelle Connor and she's certainly not better looking than Maria or Sarah yet they don't get drooled and fawned over and told how precious they are. Michele has to have her ego continually boosted. The question is why?
it is part of KM's egocentric contract along with renaming the programme KymMarshation Street

Ken and Anna will be out of hospital soon as their usual charming selves within an episode or two in the same way as all CS residents rapidly recover from their illnesses and treatment.

They say that time is a great healer - it is just a very short time indeed in Corrie.

Adults dressed up in fancy dress go to a backstreet pub in Salford on a Monday night? With Kirk reminiscing about Halloween as a kid (20 odd years ago?) I wonder if the scriptwriters have any idea about what did (or do) in live in general or in the Frozen North in particular.

CS seems to be getting worse since the arrival of the much heralded new producer

She does the PR work for them. Anyone who acts like Corrie spokespeople (see also Mr Cotton), gets rewarded. There was a story doing the rounds about Kym 'contemplating' her Corrie future, which turned into a full-blown story about her leaving and lots of people on Twitter 'begging' for her to stay. Let's be honest, she won't leave Corrie, she loves her job, she's good at what she does (drumming up attention) and it was probably a nice way of keeping the press keen.

Back to tonight's show.................the Rovers resembled a ghost town. As ever a 'big' themed night, and you only had what, five extras? Is this ITV's way of cost cutting........can't afford to pay the bill? At least the Beeb actually bother over on EastEnders.

Are we going to have ANOTHER story whereby the characters believe a drifter over a long-term resident?? Why didn't Kate just play the clip, just put it on loudspeaker if you're worried about Maria deleting evidence, silly moo!!

What was Eva dressed as? Or Liz for that matter? Witches my foot!

Rana taking lessons from Michelle Keegan in how to make a chip last forever.

Maria has a framed photo of her and Gail in her flat. I guess Corrie props ran out of photos to decorate the place.

Well she was dressed as a singer, she was channeling Cher in The Witches Of Eastwick. Eva & Michelle were the other two witches

Maria getting in the halloween spirit and decided to be a pumpkin, she looked rather orange tonight. Why is Aiden all of a sudden into Maria? I know Eva's a pain the arse but did I miss a few eps when did he start having 'real feelings' for her, hasn't she just returned from London??

How is Antony Cotton rewarded? He is practically a glorified extra! I think the writers must really hate him.

You're probably right. These two are Corrie 'stars'. As for the KM wondering whether to leave Corrie story, that does the rounds every few months.

The Halloween night at the Rovers fell a bit flat. It consisted of Liz, Michelle and Eva dressed as the Witches Of Eastwick. Corrie's fab three couldn't be anything ghoulish. No, they had to dressed as three glamorous witches and in keeping with their perfect make-up, they had on the most fab wigs. It's quite clear they didn't nip down to the local fancy dress shop as most people working in a back street pub would do!

Steve. Who didn't guess he would have the same costume as Kirk and both of their costumes were definitely from a fancy dress shop!

Meanwhile, over at Maria's there was lots of whining and saying - i don't believe this. Kate's reaction was as per usual for Corrie - always believe the baddie. Please let this be over soon, make Caz be gone forever and then let Maria and Aidan get together.

Beth loves fancy dress. Beth has fancy dress on every day but doesn't realise it. Were we supposed to think that was hilarious?

Her wig reminded me of how Sharon (EE) hair was during the time she was shagging Dennis

They all broke out the "second cheapest sparkling" in celebration but have they checked that Andy is OK? Have they forgotten that Jim has still got the condition (so he does) and is going to need a lot of looking after (so he is).
Ah, but he'll be in the Big House (so he will) so their problem. The Mcdonald-Connors need never mention it again (and most probably won't)

I thought Robert and Michelle didn't get on as he supposedly took advantage of 'my best mate' Carluh?

Michelle ...

Pregnant

Amd not ONCE during all this drama has she mentioned ...

HER ONE AND ONLY CHILD WAS SWAPPED AT BIRTH

Now you'd think wouldn't you she'd be a teeny weeny bit worried about going to hospital, having a baby, coming home with the wrong one .....

But no...not even a squeak about it

In reality, she would be over protective and worried sick and even considering a home delivery ...

They probably would have played the clip but realised when the actress that played Caz recorded it it was even worse that her normal crap acting.

So Mary arranges a activity for Asda and Aldi to do for Halloween only to usher them off to bed before they get chance to do it.

I'm always behind with my viewing but can't resist reading comments on here in advance. After Friday i really should have been warned not to watch the KM show but I did and had to fast forward through most of it. Now after reading about last nights offering I'll definitely be giving this lot a miss. Dressing up and themed nights are usually cringe worthy and this sounds worse than usual.

Exactly!

Not sure about anyone else but whenever I told my children to go upstairs to bed...wash...clean their teeth...do their homework etc etc there was always a lot of huffing and puffing and whinging.

Incidentally, I thought Mary looked lovely.
